The South West corner of Victoria is a diverse region taking in many popular tourist spots, large regional centres, and some of Victoria's most fertile farming land. It's also a region currently experiencing rapid growth, partly fuelled by a large number of developing alternative energy projects and also because it's an attractive and easily accessible corner of the state.
